The Story Of Jammetaria
CHAPTER 30 - Joint Mission 4

The giant salamander has already lost and they all continue this mission back, More precisely to sort out where the corpse of the stone salamander will take home, because in front of them this time there were dozens of dead bodies of stone salamanders who died in different ways, far exceeding their estimates even by the party “Black Cats themselves”.

At this time, Brother Dani has not been too concerned about it, he prepared to calm down, approached Hendry and give a little praise. Honestly all this time only brother Dani is the most trying to get along with the three even before they camped together yesterday afternoon. Not because they are all unfamiliar, but they prefer to be quiet and not interfere in their respective affairs, this applies to Audrey and Eliana.

"Yo.. That's really great." Said brother Dani with a little smile and laughter, trying as amicable as possible to break the atmosphere, but what was obtained was unexpected.

…

rrtr…

Hendry was still silent as usual and did not respond to anything, he did turn his head but his eyes were blank. His hand gripped the iron horse he was riding and did not care about anything.

A few seconds later his attitude changed, he ran to and nearly butted Dani without saying anything, but fortunately…

Woosh…. Dungs…

A ball of wind and a lump of ice shot forward, passing through the left and right sides of his head, smashing into Hendry's head and making him fall down to unconsciousness. Dani's brother turned around and saw Hendry's two friends who were still holding the wand.

"What are you two doing !!??"

"Ah it's normal, don't care" said Eliana.

“What do you mean ?”

“The less you know, the better.”.

"Ehhhhhhh…"

Moments later when Hendry was conscious, they began to sort out and choose which bodies of salamanders to take home. Actually they want to bring everything but it feels impossible. All salamanders here are killed in different ways, so not all of them are worth using.

The two parties began to separate their parts, each of them taking the corpse of a salamander they felt they had killed themselves. Although this mission together does not mean only one mission whose pay is divided into two. Like hunting missions in general, the two parties only carry out missions together with the hunting results they get each.

Usually in this condition there will be unnecessary bickering, but it did not happen this time because so many Salamanders that they all killed, and also it is impossible to bring everything, especially without storage magic.

Party “Grey” stars collect the bodies of salamanders on the right side, while party “BlackCats” on the left side, considering Both parties turned their backs during the fight in the hunt earlier.

About half an hour later, two large piles of salamander corpses were collected. The once scorching sun gradually dimmed shut in the clouds in the absence of any sign of cloudiness.

Even if they are already collected, it does not mean they are finished. They began skinning the rocky back of the salamander to take home, This is certainly done by the men or sword users, Audrey also came, too, because after all he was one of his two comrades who was most used to dealing with dissecting monsters.

One by one salamanders that are still worthy of skinning like crocodiles, sun-dried or sometimes slightly baked with fire magic to dry. They did it one by one a little quickly, fearing another salamander attack in hiding.

About 2 hours later they finished dealing with all of this, there was no disturbance because maybe the other monsters were still scared and away because of the corpse of the giant salamander lying here. Many sheets of rocky leather have been tied up and ready to be carried, this area has been slightly cleaned, also their goods and equipment have been packed into bags.

Both men in Party “Black cats” transport some of the Salamander skins they hunt, while the other two women help carry something lighter like their weapons for example.

Actually before that Audrey offered to leave some to him with storage magic, but brother Dani refused on the grounds of not being able to trouble him more. Vishnu and Elisha were a little disappointed, but what could be done about this, after all, the words of Dani, who seemed to be the role model of all his party members.

Meanwhile in the party “Grey” star is still as usual, Most of the logistics and transportation affairs in Audrey's care, Hendry helped carry the manual as usual, because he said as “Lekan”, he said, while Eliana is not much help because one sheet of stone salamander skin alone is beyond her storage magic capacity.

They were all preparing to leave but there was one thing they had forgotten, Eliana looked back and still saw a giant Salamander lying down to cover the sunlight that was soon setting.

“So what will we do to the big salamander there it is ?”

“Leave it...” Say brother vishnu indifferently.

“But does it really matter?”

“It seems not, after all it seems impossible to carry it, even with your friend's magic, the monster weighs already not kilos, but tons and tons.” Dani continued before he realized that Audrey had disappeared in front of him and was suddenly in front of the monster.

“Oii.. Audery What are you doing..” Shouted Hendry while calling Audery in the distance, but he said nothing..

Audrey brandished her wand and a magic circle suddenly appeared. It was bright white, stretching around the giant salamander that lay. The ground rumbled a little and the corpse of the giant salamander was sucked in slowly, disappeared instantly and the sunlight that had been blocked began to be clearly visible nan glare. The magic circle disappeared and Audrey slowly approached.

“Ap... What are you doing ?” Said Brother Dani with great astonishment, the same thing happened to his party-mates, but it no longer happened to Hendry and Eliana. The two of them only frowned and were used to the strange things beyond reason that Audrey used to do. He approached and answered Dani's question.

"No no no no. Who is the person in the city who wants to buy the bagkai, after all in my own city I'm not sure there are people who have enough land to put a big monster like this…"

"That's so.. yasudah…"

"But what's the matter ?" Elisha asked Eliana beside him, for he was still quite astonished.

"I don't think Audrey's alone in the woods anyway, so I don't think it's a problem…"

"Truly absurd.." Sahut kak Vishnu.

"Well that's how it is." said Eliana with a slight forced smile. Hendry thought for a moment and said…

"But talking about the absurd..Not every time hunting, Audrey always enter everything indiscriminately ?. Whether it's a bunch of Cows or Boars all at once."

"Ah.. Right too…"

…

They walked and returned to where they were camped the night before, Not going straight back to the city because it was late in the afternoon. They were all preparing to camp one night like then return to the city the next day.

Moments later the preparations were finished, and now it's just about dinner. The menu this time is actually almost the same as yesterday which distinguishes from the meat only.

The meat used was the meat they had hunted earlier, in other words was the meat of the stone salamander they had brought some. It sounds so loud, but it doesn't seem so. Behind the hard rocky skin there is a very soft flesh. Smoother than beef but not like crab meat.

Red meat pieces baked on the fire. Even with simple spices, the fragrant smell is scattered everywhere. In the midst of the cold and dark night, this is absolutely perfect. The mission is done, eating together, getting along, getting together with each other somewhere rarely visited is really something special.

*****

Not one night had passed, they cleared the tent and returned to the capital. Down the hill, walk for a while in the meadow, then enter the forest without feeling so fast.

Not until the sun goes down did they enter the city. Walk towards the guild and finish their work. After that moment the sun completely sunk, the two parties were in front of the guild.

Everyone said goodbye, apologized and thanked each other, and hoped to work together again one day. The four members of the “blackcat” party parted ways first, walking further and further away under the yellowish rays of the afternoon sun, slowly disappearing in the crowd, and accompanied by the wave of the hands of the three people from the party who had accompanied them.

Now it's time for Hendry, Audery, and Eliana to return. Walk together until you get to the city gate in the middle of the hustle and bustle that began to disappear while having a light conversation between the three.

"O yes.. By the way you guys have lived in this city long enough right ?"

"Yes.Hendery replied with the two brothers nodding."

"Are you two..., there's no desire to go home ?"

The two sisters stared at each other, initially hesitant but eventually solidified their minds until Eliana answered Audrey's question.

"Emm. That's actually the thing we wanted to talk to you about."

"What do you mean ?"

"Actually in the future we plan to go home for a while, but we do not know when... Do you... Objection ?"

"Why?, instead of it being up to you, how could I possibly mind. After all your parents must be worried, so it's better for you to go home in a while…"

The two nodded in relief without knowing what Audrey was really thinking.

"So, how about you come with us, I'm sure they'll be happy Hendry said excitedly, and it looks like it makes Audrey too."

"Ups..sorry but it's another matter…"

"Eeeeeehh…"

After the conversation they separated as usual, returned and took a full break from this exhausting mission…
